Solar Fire Tomato
No, it’s not a hot tomato, but if you need a tomato that can set fruit in summer’s heat, try Solar Fire. Known for bearing heavy loads of medium-sized red tomatoes, Solar Fire can be planted in spring or at midseason to extend the harvest into fall. Resistant to fusarium races 1, 2, and 3 (F), as well as gray leaf spot St), it has what is needed to get through the dog days. If the season is rainy, Solar Fire resists cracking to assure a good harvest. You’ll see this variety on our shelves a little later in the planting season as heat becomes an issue with tomatoes.
